Note di degustazione
The 1992 Lafite Rothschild offers up aromas of mint, cassis and berries framed by a generous application of cedary new oak. Medium-bodied, sinewy and angular, it concludes with a vanillin-inflected finish. At age 30, it's hard to imagine any additional charm emerging with time.

real achievement for the vintage, boasting plenty of fruit, tobacco and dark chocolate character. Full-bodied and velvety. impressive richness of ripe tannins. Better in 1997. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995
Tasted alongside Chateau Latour 1992, this had a distinctly sweeter, fleshier nose with notes of pencil-lead, blackberry and damp earth. More high-toned than Latour. The palate is well-balanced, harmonious with silky tannins and moderate complexity. Notes of dried blood, Provencal herbs and tar. Quite Saint Julien in character with quite an exotic, colourful finish. Not a great Lafite, pipped by Latour, but fine for the vintage. Tasted July 2004. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com
In 1992 only 36% of the harvest was utilized, resulting in a deeply-colored wine with a nearly exceptional cedary, chocolatey, cassis-character, medium body, surprisingly concentrated flavors, as well as the classic Lafite aromatic profile. If discounted, readers should take the opportunity to experience Lafite's finesse in a softer, more precocious vintage. The 1992 Lafite should drink well in 2-3 years and last for 12-20.
